My accountant - Shared Documents

I am a bookkeeper and I have a new client.  They showed me a screenshot of all their bank statements in My Accountant > Shared Documents under my business and ID.  When I log in (the accountant) and open My accountant > Shared Documents, there is "Nothing to see here" listed under the Shared Documents tab.  Why can't I see the documents she has shared?

My accountant - Shared Documents

I appreciate the information you've shared, @TS Delaney

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), accountant firms and their clients can exchange documents in just a few clicks. If you're having trouble accessing your shared documents, let's try refreshing the page by clicking the Refresh button located beside the Search documents box.


If you're still unable to see the documents, I'd recommend contacting your client to verify whether the file has been uploaded successfully and posted to your profile. Currently, we have an ongoing investigation (INV-93925) about missing documents in the shared documents tab. If the issue persists after doing the steps above, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Support. By doing so, they will be able to add you to the list of affected users, and you will receive an email regarding the investigation update. Rest assured that our engineers are working diligently to resolve your issue and get your business up and running again.

To review and check your clients book, check out this article: Open and review clients' QuickBooks Online or Self-Employed accounts.

 

Feel free to reach us back if you need further assistance with this or anything else in QBO. We'll be here to assist you. Have a good one!

@ShyMae Yes definitely refreshed, logged in and out, waited a full day, logged in from a different browser, the works. 

 

She sent me a screenshot showing all the documents are there and my company and user is listed above them.  I even had my business partner log into the account and she too, did not have any documents.
